Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this pilot study is to prospectively evaluate whether HIP Kids, a 1-year, multidisciplinary, family-centred, hospital-based, outpatient intervention for obese children and adolescents 8-17 years of age and their families, is effective in preventing further increase in body mass index (BMI) and BMI standard deviation score (BMI z-score), and in improving QoL.

The 1-year multidisciplinary intervention consisted of an initial 3-month intensive phase with bi-weekly individual counseling sessions, followed by a 9-month maintenance phase with alternating monthly individual or group sessions. Each of the 15 sessions was 90 minutes in length and was divided into three 30-minute educational blocks focusing on nutrition, physical activity, and psychosocial and behavioural aspects, led by a dietitian, exercise specialist, and social worker. Assessments were performed at baseline, at 3 months and 12 months.
